Last week, my sup called a meeting together with my 2 co-agents and one of our topic was the trip to India. Our sup discussed to us that our company will be sending agents to India to help train the people with the work that we do. At first its good to hear that youll be going there for free and you'll be seeing the famous Taj Mahal but the downside of the offer was youll be staying there for 3 months...
When our sup asked the three of us if we want to volunteer going to India, no one answered. Hhhhhmmmmm.......

When i was at home, i talked to hubby about this and our conversation is like this:
Me: Bi, ok lang ba sayo na pupunta ako ng India for 3 months. Magpapadala ng tao ang company para tumulong mag-train nung work nmen. Marami nman ang ipapadala.
Hubby: Ha? Naku di mo kakayanin dun kasi masyadong maanghang ang pagkain dun.. iba kasi ang spices dun, d2 nga lang konting anghang lang nagrereklamo ka na... yung counterpart nga nmen ayaw dun..
Me: So ayaw mo?
Hubby: Hindi nman sa ayaw pero ikaw bahala, wag ka lang manlalaki.
Me: Grabe ka nman! of all the places bakit nman dun pa ko manlalake... at kung manlalake ako eh di sana nun pa.. Ano nga? kasi need ng consent mo kasi ikaw ang immediate family ko..
Hubby: Wag na bi! Ang tagal eh ska hindi maganda dun.
That was our conversation last weekend. If i were to ask, i'd rather stay here with my family. I will not sacrifice the time and bonding of our family just for the sake of going to India for free. Like with other conversation, with the topic of resigning to work and be a stay at home mom to my daughter and a plain housewife to hubby. I always told hubby that im still enjoying my work because of friends and i want to save a lot but if time comes that im not happy, then ill decide. With his salary come December, we can live on a single-income family but i chose to continue working to save a lot.
With the free travel to India because of work but will stay for 3 months, i chose to stay here. I've been to diff. places and different countries when i was young but it never cross my mind to travel to India, maybe because i was scared to go there or bka natatakot ako sa mga napapanood ko sa discovery and travel and living channel sa tv.
If you were me? will you go to India or stay with your family?
